Are you wondering how to get the most from your garden in one of San Francisco’s microclimates? Local garden legend Pam Peirce will explain the causes and nature of our microclimates and how to use them to grow food and flowers year-round. She will also show you how to study the mini-microclimates within your garden and explain the tricks of arranging plants to make the most of variations in warmth, cold, sun, and shade. Useful handouts will be provided. Pam is the author of the regional gardening books, Wildly Successful Plants: Northern California, and the legendary Golden Gate Gardening: The Complete Guide to Year-Round Food Gardening in the San Francisco Bay Area (copies of both books will be available for sale).
